The Wooksta!

Off ebay:

M&E Spitfire Tr9 fuselage conversion.

Two pops up, bid on both and win one.  I can live with that as I have a few tucked away (and the far superior Brigade one).  Will end up as a whiffed one in dark markings as it's a little rough.  But NOWHERE near as bat as the Lotnia IX UTI I bought at Telford...

Something that might interest Weaver or Chrisnord, i got off Hannants the recently re-issued Revell British Paratroopers circa 1982 (ex Matchbox) and the new 'A Call to Arms' British Intantry 1970's so two sets of figures in Combat jackets, berrets and carrying SLR rifles. Got the two sets to mix and match figures to improve the range of poses.

Oh nice one - I'll have a look at those.  :thumbsup:

For anyone else who's interested, this is what's in the Call to Arms box (apparently they're scaled copies of old Britains 1/32nd figures):

Assuming it's the same, this is the Matchbox set of which the Revell set is a reissue:

I'm planning to create the radomes for the FASS versions as 3D printable parts, you can use those if you're interested.

More F-102s !!!

The Dragon Invincible Kit is a nice kit except for the fact they didn't do it waterline which is the standard in 1/700 and the raised plastic on the flight deck that should have bee supplied as decals  :banghead:. You'll have to get the Orangehobby Hermes to go with it along with their SHARS and Sea Kings  :thumbsup:

The Wooksta!

Italeri Junkers Ju 86E.   Bit of a departure for me, I know, but I'm thinking Finnish markings for this one, possibly post war so I don't have to use swastikas.

From Modelzone Bromley, a Revell 1/80 Martin B-57B Limited Edition and a ME 262 A-1a in 1/72 and a new Airfix Gloster Gladiator (the Shuttleworth boxing) looks lush.

I also saw in The Works at a reduced price Revell's 1/144 tu95 and the NTH 90 both at £14.99.
If I am targetted by JMNs, I'm in good Company.
